Does the thought of Hell ever scare an atheist?

Not in the slightest bit. Even if God existed, he should be more clever than intellegent humans. For intellegent humans bible and christanity is such a non-sense, so it should be the same for him/her.

Do you not think it's possible that God can see meaning where you can't? That he can understand things you can't?

The concept of "being intelligent" is meaningless when it comes to God, by the way. It's incredible how little able some "intelligent" people are to conceive, even dimly, of what a transcendent being with infinite qualities would be like.

Surely he could.
I try to make a point, that if we tried to write a new bible nowadays we could make a much better and convincing book. I highly doubt that a being more intellegent than me would make such a bad job 2000 years ago.

If you are trying to argue that there is a deeper meaning in the bible that I can't see. Well, it could be true but I hoghly doubt it. Not on the basis of just that book, though, one needs to take into account other sources.
